The 100 points dont mean squat unless you join TM. You would be surprised on how few athletes are TM members as opposed to the general population.

AND those that do are given a 100 points.....for those not getting the perks, its not about the number of VA who don't join, rather, it's about the fact that those who do join get a 100 points.... so what I said stands.

If you are not getting the "ticket priority perks" of being a TM, it is because you do not have high enough points. If you do not have at least 100 pp, you are getting jumped everytime a Varsity letter holder joins TM. Also, you have to keep in mind that points are also accumulated for consecutive years for being a TM so factor that in as well. its really that simple!

BTW...if the current system is broken, and we are not getting enough fans to the game then its time to look at the current system. BTW....I am not sure the system is broken, but if you are on that thinks it is then lobby to change the system.

Calling kids selfish for not attending football games?

Don't be an idiot.

We need to strike a balance between getting students to the game and making sure regular fans can buy tickets. The students are the future teammakers , donors, and season ticket holders. Without them, our fan base will turn into a bunch if senior citizens.

You cant make students go to the games but we need to do a better job encouraging involvement. Things are changing nationally but it seemed like there was a true grass roots effort on campus 5-7 years ago to reach out to students. They even had a thing at the dome where all freshman were taught game day traditions

I was in school at that time, I don't think those events really did anything. Doesn't make it a bad idea to do though. The success NDSU had at that time was new and exciting. Kids now are less likely to go to games to begin with, and the predictable nature of NDSU football games has hurt student involvement in my opinion.

Please explain to me the accumulated points scenario as the 100 points is only a one time thing..

This is/was a great idea.

Free college education for everyone will help with attendance. Problem solved
Man am I smart...you people should feel lucky I am on this site.

Not using the seats they begged to have after given to them. Obvious they didn't really need them. I hope they were doing something more productive than getting wasted if they were not at the
game.
